That one and this are my last 2.

Happy to have my low grade copy with "delicate" pages!

I've only got one Centaur left in the boxes and this is it. You can see that it hasn't been pressed and would improve greatly if it was. I will likely leave that to its future owner.

Well, if you have only one left in box, this is a good choice - and one I still need!  Agree, I'd leave it untouched too.

I agree, this is one of the best all time threads.  I have been meaning to post some things on here, so glad to see it on the front page again.  I've had some success tracking down a few books I've been searching for for a long time.  Here are two trifectas that have taken quite some time to complete.  First off, the three Arrow issues.  And then the three Mad Ming Funny Pages issues.  Some of my all time favorite comics.   And I know @G.A.tor doesn't have everything anymore, but you have helped many people like me get some cool stuff (including one issue in both of these mini-runs) and that is much appreciated.

Two great trifectas!    

Didn't realize how tough Arrow #3 was to find till I searched, and how cool FP #38 cover was till I acquired one!  Thanks for helping to keep the ball rolling!

For many moons a favorite of mine too. But I just can’t seem to want to visit the past so I rarely poke my head in this door 

Based on lack of posts, you're not the only one - books remain elusive!

Along with Jon, as one of the few collectors to complete (and sell) the run, I'm sure there's mixed emotions.

Jon's thread has always been a favorite!   Surprised thread has been dormant for 10 months - apparently I'm not the only one struggling to find these rare gems!!

Thanks!

  for reopened listing with a new lower price!

We're you listening to pink floyd? Idk I was really drunk at the time

 

Apparently I still am!  Fixed!  Now to grade Round 4...

  for price drop - below GPA!

Death Star "prototype"...  

  Adding Dark Mysteries #1-7 to list!

General Rules: 

• No PL or HOS members.  
• I’ll take it  in thread trumps any PM negotiations that aren't final.  PM negotiations are only final when thread is updated as sold.

Payment:  

• Check or Money Order Only.  
• Checks must clear before book is shipped.  
• Payment due in 7 days, unless other arrangement made.

Shipping:  

• US shipping only. 
• Free USPS Priority shipping with signature required (Registered).

Returns:  

• No returns on CGC books.

The short answer is no.  

Most comics distributed in the US were printed in the USA.  A notable exception is Stanley Morse; Junior Hope #1-3, Mister Mystery #1-5, Mr Universe #1-4 and Weird Tales of the Future #1-4 - all were printed in Canada for distribution in US (there are no "Printed in USA" versions).

Once slabbed, you can't tell, since these are considered US editions by CGC (and OSPG and collecting community).  Other than having a raw copy to check indicia, you can use GCD and Comic Book+.  CGC only denotes Canadian comics or Canadian Price Variants on label.

  It is an under-appreciated classic and one of my favorite AMF covers!  There's a typo in listing title, it's V2, not V3.  GLWS.

Cool story!  It's great when you are able to add a grail book to your collection.  Did not discover Marvel Man covers on Popular till later, after everyone else did!  Did read that CBM article (tried to read all Jon's articles) and knew Jon was focused on Larsons.

Jon's collection was truly impressive.   Was lucky to pick up a few Centaurs from the auction, but no Larsons.

IN!   

First rocket cover!?!

 Larson!  This cover looks vaguely familiar.

When I discovered a LCS, first books I bought for my "new" collection were OMAC #1 and Human Torch #1 (1974).  Figured they'd be worth a fortune when I retired!  

At least I found Jack.  Have an OMAC #1, but not copy I bought here.  Suspect I still have that HT #1, but no idea where!
